Marine Corps

The Marine Corps or as Barack Obama is known to call it, the Marine Corpse, is under attack again. In fact, the entire U.S. military has been under siege for years. Not by Islamic fundamentalists, but by weak-kneed politicians and breast-beating shallow media types. It’s funny – ICE news doesn’t thing so – how quickly the abovementioned America-haters leap from calling anyone who serves in the military a hero to demanding their heads on a platter the moment a report alleges members of our military have offended our enemies.

Ice News received this from a friend of a retired Marine Recon Officer – Former Commanding Officer of the 4th Recon Battalion. Wounded three times in Viet Nam, he still maintains some contacts with his community, and his information is usually correct and to the point. This all makes sense to us, but the non-combatant liberals would probably question and deny all truths not in their best interest.

The left wing social scientists in the Democratic Party are at it again: advancing the gay agenda, that is. Despite the fact that two-thirds of U.S. Marine combat forces believe that placing gays in their units would hurt their effectiveness in the field, according to a survey ordered by the Defense Department. This is a battle for the morale and cohesiveness of our military forces and the fact is there’s no time to waste.

In a landmark vote for gay rights, Sen. Harry Reid and fellow Democrats in the Senate voted Saturday to let gays serve openly in the military, giving President Barack Obama the chance to fulfill a campaign promise and repeal the 17-year policy known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.” The Senate voted 63 to 33 Saturday in favor of cloture on the bill. Six Republicans voted with the Democrats: Scott Brown, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Lisa Murkowski, George Voinovich, and newly elected Illinois Senator Mark Kirk.

Directly challenging the Pentagon’s top leadership, Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain on Thursday snubbed a military study on gays as flawed and said letting them serve openly would be dangerous in a time of war.
